Clinical Guidelines and Audit

The National Stroke Foundation work with health professionals is built on the foundation of evidence based practice. Central to this is the Guidelines program and National Stroke Audit program. The Foundation has been developing the Clinical Guidelines for Stroke Management since 2003 and has been measuring adherence to the guidelines through the National Stroke Audit Program since 2007.

The Foundation monitors and measures the delivery of best practice stroke care as described in the Clinical Guidelines for Stroke Management through the National Stroke Audit program. The program is a biennial audit of stroke services in Australia that alternates annually between acute services and rehabilitation services.
